Proton-linked L-rhamnose transport, and its comparison with L-fucose transport in Enterobacteriaceae.
Muiry J.A., Gunn T.C., McDonald T.P., Bradley S.A., Tate C.G., Henderson P.J.
1. An alkaline pH change occurred when L-rhamnose, L-mannose or L-lyxose was added to L-rhamnose-grown energy-depleted suspensions of strains of Escherichia coli. This is diagnostic of sugar-H+ symport activity. 2. L-Rhamnose, L-mannose and L-lyxose were inducers of the sugar-H+ symport and of L-[ ... >> More
1. An alkaline pH change occurred when L-rhamnose, L-mannose or L-lyxose was added to L-rhamnose-grown energy-depleted suspensions of strains of Escherichia coli. This is diagnostic of sugar-H+ symport activity. 2. L-Rhamnose, L-mannose and L-lyxose were inducers of the sugar-H+ symport and of L-[14C]rhamnose transport activity. L-Rhamnose also induced the biochemically and genetically distinct L-fucose-H+ symport activity in strains competent for L-rhamnose metabolism. 3. Steady-state kinetic measurements showed that L-mannose and L-lyxose were competitive inhibitors (alternative substrates) for the L-rhamnose transport system, and that L-galactose and D-arabinose were competitive inhibitors (alternative substrates) for the L-fucose transport system. Additional measurements with other sugars of related structure defined the different substrate specificities of the two transport systems. 4. The relative rates of H+ symport and of sugar metabolism, and the relative values of their kinetic parameters, suggested that the physiological role of the transport activity was primarily for utilization of L-rhamnose, not for L-mannose or L-lyxose. 5. L-Rhamnose transport into subcellular vesicles of E. coli was dependent on respiration, was optimal at pH 7, and was inhibited by protonophores and ionophores. It was insensitive to N-ethylmaleimide or cytochalasin B. 6. L-Rhamnose, L-mannose and L-lyxose each elicited an alkaline pH change when added to energy-depleted suspensions of L-rhamnose-grown Salmonella typhimurium LT2, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella aerogenes, Erwinia carotovora carotovora and Erwinia carotovora atroseptica. The relative rates of subsequent acidification varied, depending on both the organism and the sugar. L-Fucose promoted an alkaline pH change in all the L-rhamnose-induced organisms except the Erwinia species. No L-rhamnose-H+ symport occurred in any organism grown on L-fucose. 7. All these results showed that L-rhamnose transport into the micro-organisms occurred by a system different from that for L-fucose transport. Both systems are energized by the trans-membrane electrochemical gradient of protons. 8. Neither steady-state kinetic measurements nor binding-protein assays revealed the existence of a second L-rhamnose transport system in E. coli. << Less

Membrane topology of the L-rhamnose-H+ transport protein (RhaT) from enterobacteria.
Tate C.G., Henderson P.J.F.
The L-rhamnose-H+ symporter (RhaT) is a 344-amino acid integral membrane protein, found in many Enterobacteria, which couples the uptake of the sugar L-rhamnose with the inward movement of protons. Based on its hydropathy profile and the application of von Heijne's "positive inside" rule (von Heij ... >> More
The L-rhamnose-H+ symporter (RhaT) is a 344-amino acid integral membrane protein, found in many Enterobacteria, which couples the uptake of the sugar L-rhamnose with the inward movement of protons. Based on its hydropathy profile and the application of von Heijne's "positive inside" rule (von Heijne, G. (1992) J. Mol. Biol. 225, 487-494), a model of the L-rhamnose-H+ symport protein (RhaT) is proposed containing 10 transmembrane helices with the NH2 and COOH termini in the periplasm. This model was tested by the creation of random beta-lactamase (Bla) fusions. The data from 33 unique, randomly generated, RhaT-Bla fusions and from 5 site-specific fusions supported the proposed topology between transmembrane helices 2-10. However, the localization of the putative first hydrophilic loop and the NH2 terminus was not possible because the beta-lactamase fusions in this region were shown to be unreliable indicators of the topology of RhaT. << Less

Mapping, cloning, expression, and sequencing of the rhaT gene, which encodes a novel L-rhamnose-H+ transport protein in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli.
Tate C.G., Muiry J.A.R., Henderson P.J.F.
A L-rhamnose transport-negative strain of Escherichia coli was generated by Mu d(ApR,lac)I mutagenesis. This strain was used to isolate a clone of Salmonella typhimurium DNA that encoded L-rhamnose-H+ transport activity, the gene for which, rhaT, was sequenced.

A L-rhamnose transport-negative strain of Escherichia coli was generated by Mu d(ApR,lac)I mutagenesis. This strain was used to isolate a clone of Salmonella typhimurium DNA that encoded L-rhamnose-H+ transport activity, the gene for which, rhaT, was sequenced. The rhaT gene was mapped on the E. coli chromosome between rhaR and sodA at 87.9 min, initially by Southern blot analysis and then by the isolation, expression, and sequencing of the rhaT gene. Both rhaT genes encoded a hydrophobic protein of 344 amino acids (91% identical) that contained 10 putative transmembrane regions. The RhaT protein represents a novel class of sugar transport protein. << Less
